WasitPay does not hold client funds.

This policy explains what personal data we collect when you use wasitpay.ma, app.wasitpay.ma, and related services (the “Services”), why we collect it, who we share it with, and the rights you have under Moroccan Law No. 09-08 on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data.

7. Your rights (Law No. 09-08)

Subject to the conditions of Law No. 09-08, you have the right to access your personal data, to request rectification of inaccurate data, to object to certain processing on legitimate grounds, and to request deletion of data that we are not legally required to keep. Personal data processing in Morocco is supervised by the national data protection authority (CNDP).

To exercise any of these rights, contact [email protected]. For deletion specifically, see our Data Deletion page. We may need to verify your identity before acting on a request, and we will respond within a reasonable period.

8. Security

We apply technical and organizational measures appropriate to a financial-technology service, including encryption in transit and at rest, hashed credential and OTP storage, role-restricted access to production systems, and logging and monitoring. No system is perfectly secure; if we become aware of a breach affecting your personal data, we will act in accordance with applicable law.
